Pros

Thoughtful employees Various pathways to be in more stable, consistent roles or more dynamic and startup-esque positions

Cons

Executive leadership change in mid-2023 that kickstarted a lot of change in the AMER region that seemed tone-deaf and offered little or negative functional improvement. Some of those rollouts got walked back because they were ineffective. Several departures from frontline ICs to relatively high-seated Directors/VPs. Turnover has always been pretty heavy, but not nearly to this extent.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
